wger is a free, open source workout manager that allows you to keep track of your fitness goals, create and modify workout programs and routines, as well as monitor your progress. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing wger on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before you begin, there are a few prerequisites that you will need:
Before proceeding with the installation of wger, it is recommended to update your system's packages to their latest versions. To do this, run the following command:
sudo rpm-ostree update
wger is available as a Docker image, therefore we need to install Docker first. This can be done with the following command:
sudo dnf install docker
Once Docker is installed, start the Docker daemon and enable it to start on boot:
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
Before we can run the wger Docker image, we need to create a directory that will contain the necessary configuration files. Create a new directory for this purpose:
sudo mkdir -p /var/wger
Next, create a configuration file for the wger Docker container:
sudo nano /var/wger/wger.env
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
POSTGRES_USER=wger
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
POSTGRES_DB=wger
Save and close the file.
Now that we have prepared the environment, we can run the wger Docker image. To do so, execute the following command:
sudo docker run --name wger -d --env-file /var/wger/wger.env --publish 8000:80 wger/wger:latest
Explanation of the flags:
--name: specifies a name for the Docker container-d: runs the Docker container in the background as a daemon--env-file: specifies the location of the configuration file we created earlier--publish: maps the port 8000 on the host to port 80 on the Docker containerwger/wger:latest: specifies the Docker image to runwger should now be running and accessible through your web browser. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000/ to access the wger application.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and run wger on Fedora CoreOS Latest. With just a few steps, you can easily set up your own workout manager and start tracking your fitness goals.
